| Additional information |
The Dading reign (1161–1189) of Emperor Shizong is generally regarded as the high-water mark of Jurchen Jin administration — a period of relative fiscal stability after decades of aggressive expansion against the Song. The "with year" designation on this type refers to the cyclical date cast into the reverse, a practice the Jin employed selectively rather than systematically, which is precisely why dated examples carry more cataloging weight than their undated counterparts.
Shizong died in early 1189, cutting the era short. Issues from the final Dading cyclical year are correspondingly scarcer than mid-reign production.
